In this episode, Nexus25 co-lead Nathalie Tocci takes listeners back to Europe to debrief the European Parliament elections. After a spring of protests from farmers, political uncertainty, and green backlash, the centrist majority managed to maintain control - but gains from the far-right and stunning decimations of the Greens across the continent are cause for concern. Nathalie and this week’s guests discuss what these elections could mean for the EU’s foreign policy, climate ambitions, and international leadership, as well as their perspectives on the critical national elections still to come.

In this episode, Nexus25 contributor Thin Lei Win takes listeners to the world’s most populous - and climate-vulnerable - region: South Asia. From erratic monsoon seasons in India to tropical cyclones in the Philippines, policymakers and local populations alike are on the frontlines of climate change, grappling with extreme impacts of climate change on their livelihoods, agriculture, and security. Thin and this episode’s guests discuss regional nexus dynamics, opportunities for policy leadership, needed reforms to unlock climate finance, geopolitics and more - all in the hopes of catalyzing greater climate resilience in the region.

In this episode, Nexus25 lead Michael Werz takes listeners to the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference where, in the age of a renewed Israel-Palestine conflict, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and debates over the China challenge, this year’s attendees attempted to broker agreements on the security implications of climate change - and how to build more resilient societies, militaries and food systems in response. Michael is joined by World Food Programme Berlin Director Dr. Martin Frick and Sudanese climate activist Nisreen Elsaim to discuss just how successful they were in addressing global food security - and what to keep an eye on in the multilateral space this spring.

This documentary is a journey along the Senegal river, from the Delta to the border between Mauritania and Mali, following the steps of an environmentalist investigating the conflicts triggered by climate change. It is a direct point of view on the villages destroyed by floods, the growing clashes between farmers and herders, the impact of droughts on rural abandonment and migration.
